CFCC Funding Fairs
Upcoming Funding Fairs
Our Spring 2026 Funding Fairs will be held on May 21st, 2026 and June 3, 2026. View the 2026 Spring Funding Fair Flyer.
Why Attend?
There’s a wide variety of state and federal funding available to help finance your infrastructure project and lift up your community, but keeping track of all the programs and weeding through the options can feel overwhelming.
Who Should Attend?
Representatives from water industry professionals, public works, local governments, and California Native American Tribes should attend. This includes city managers and planners, economic development and engineering professionals, officials from privately owned facilities, water and irrigation district managers, financial advisors, and project consultants.
Attend our Free Funding Fairs to:
- Find out what state and federal infrastructure grant, loan, and bond financing programs are available to you.
- Receive copies of each department and agency’s slide presentation and additional helpful infrastructure financing material.
- Speak directly with state and federal program staff about your specific project and issues affecting your community.
